An online home to showcase and discuss interesting articles, interviews and other media about actors associated with all the various "Star Trek" television shows and movies. I also write on equal rights, social justice issues, INFJ-isms, film & television production, urban homesteading and whatever blows up my skirt. Figuratively speaking.
In addition, I'm working on setting up a new urban homesteading blog - stay tuned.

So it's Valentine's Day. With that in
mind, I have decided to post an "Epic, Awesome Personal Dating Ad".
I have no idea how to meet someone special, so I just started writing and
this is what happened and I am tossing it out there to the universe. Feel
free to forward it. Here we go…

I seek a kind, generous and brave person with
similar values, interests and background. I seek someone who is creative,
altruistic, intelligent, honest and complicated. I am pansexual, which for me
means that I am looking mostly for a brunette with blue-green-grey eyes who has
the above-mentioned personal qualities. Gender is irrelevant. I currently live in
Eugene, but I would be willing to relocate (eventually) to Portland or Ashland,
Oregon, or relocate back to Los Angeles for the right person.

If you have kids also, that’s great; I like kids of
all ages. I am the mom of a brilliant, challenging and exceptional
special needs ten year old son. I also live with a cat that I serve
and obey. It is essential that you genuinely like kids and family life
for a relationship to work because that is a priority to me.

Words that describe me include idealistic,
intelligent, compassionate, intense and complex. I have the ability to curse like a
sailor as the need arises or if I just fucking feel like it. I am
spiritual and ethical, but not at all religious. I have an incurable and insatiable drive to make
the world a better place. I am a great cook, a music lover, and an
enthusiastic but neglectful gardener. I read voraciously and love the theater, concerts and cultural events. I like
sci-fi movies and action flicks, but I have a secret soft spot for romances
like Sense & Sensibility, Notting Hill, the intro
of Up and The Terminator. I have a
wicked sense of humor, but people seem to like it, or they run away and it’s
not an issue.

this is NOT me

After college, I escaped to Hollywood where I fell unexpectedly in love
with film and television production. I am incredibly proud of having
worked on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: First
Contact, and ellen (among many other shows and
movies). I currently work as a preschool teacher and at a
non-profit that supports families with special needs children here in
Eugene. My mind insists that I am 35 years old but my birth
certificate says I am 45. I am 5’4”, curvy, solid and strong and am
a brunette with brown eyes. “Old enough to know better and young enough
not to care” is definitely applicable.

I want to wake up next to my beloved and compare
morning bed-head hair, make pancakes every Saturday for breakfast and create a
home refuge where the laughter of happy children is a constant background
noise. I have enjoyed being single, but now want a down-to-earth romance
with someone special for the rest of my life. I am a bit scared to
be doing this. I am doing it anyway. Synchronicity is
afoot, and I must see where she leads.

I liked Paul Walker. He was in one of my favorite movies, Timeline. And I had no idea this was going on. He started a charity organization called Reach Out Worldwide, which transports volunteers to areas affected by catastrophic disasters in order to provide assistance. THIS is the power of celebrity used correctly. Well done, sir. RIP.

About Me

I am a single mom raising a special needs child while working and trying to figure out life. Oh, and I worked on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: First Contact once upon a time (and some other shows and movies). I am a preschool teacher, voracious reader, mosaic artist, urban homesteader, a poet and a thinker. I am an unapologetic do-gooder with delusions of reality; a kitchen witch who raises children and vegetables and who wants to save the world. All of these words describe everything and nothing about me. I am a catalyst. Boldly go.
